The program included vocal solos by Mrs. McKIdowney and Miss Ma bel Rasmusen, readings by Mrs. Merle Redcr and Miss Mildred Scobee and piano solos by Russell Heals. All numbers were well ren­ dered and vigorously encored. After the card-playing cake and coffee were served in the banquet hall and this was followed by a half-hour of dancing. Order Spray Material Now Insect pests and fungous dis­ eases are always with us and must be combatted. Due to transpor­ tation difficulties and a possible shortage of spray material, grow­ ers are utg»d to consider their seasonal needs and order their in­ secticides and fungicides now. Both Prof. IiOvett and Prof. Barss, O A. C. specialists, think that growers had best order as early as possible. Lead arsenate has practically doubled in price, and in many cases it may be ad­ visable to substitute arsenate of lime, (calcium arsenate). This material is satisfactory and safe when used properly Representa­ tive samples of the material (one- half pound) should be sent to the chemist of the Oregon Experiment Station, Corvallis, for analysis and advice as to the dilution to use and the proper procedure when mixing. ing (»etitions for state offices and for filing portrait* and arguments for and against candidates for state office.
